Augrented Insights Report for 533 Ocean Avenue

The 6-story, 36-unit residential building at 533 Ocean Avenue in Flatbush, owned by Emil Friedman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2021, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2022. The building faced multiple heat and hot water emergencies in March 2022 affecting the entire building, with violations issued following inspections. Pest-related problems have been a recurring issue, with violations documented in March and April 2022 regarding roaches and mice, particularly affecting apartment 5B.

Other notable violations from 2023 included fire escape maintenance issues, with problems identified in May 2023 related to the drop ladder and required shoe installation, as well as concerns about refuse accumulation in the center court. The building's elevator system has been a continuing source of regulatory scrutiny, with multiple complaints about single device service and a notable citation in December 2021 regarding no alternate service. More recent inspections from 2023-2024 show some improvements, with bedbug inspections showing no infestation records, and rodent inspections showing only one instance of rat activity in 2018, though previous years had multiple rat activity reports.

The building's management has addressed several safety concerns, as evidenced by the certification of various 2023 violations, including the removal of encumbered egress areas and the abatement of pest infestations. However, there are still some active violation categories from 2019-2020 regarding inspection filings that remain unresolved, including the failure to file certain required safety inspection reports and elevator maintenance records. The property has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug protocols, with all past infestations reported as fully eradicated and no new cases reported in recent years.
